Ok, thanks. But I still have one question. If the \ is needed to escape another backslash, why shouldn't I type:
{code}\\\\test\\test{code}. So the second backslash is not escaped?

> I have this configuration element in my XML configuration:
> {code}
> <working-folder>\\test\test</working-folder>
> {code}
> ... but when I want to print out the value, I notice the content of this node changed to:
> {code} \test\test{code}
> So the first "\" has disappeared
> I've created a M2 project that simulates the problem. Just hit mvn eclipse:eclipse and run the Test.java file :-).
> The problem is situated in: *org.apache.commons.configuration.PropertyConverter.class*. Check the method:
> {code} public static List split(String s, char delimiter, boolean trim){code} => line 505.
> begin = 0
> c = "\"
> inEscape = true
> begin = 1
> c= "\"
> if (c \!= delimiter && c == LIST_ESC_CHAR) => only the second char will be printed
